The Cincinnati Bengals announced the pending acquisition of former Green Bay Packers defensive back Tony Brown on Monday.
Brown, an Alabama product, played 20 games over two seasons with the Packers but gradually fell down the depth chart at an improving position in Green Bay.
It’s good the Bengals had first waiver priority after the 2-14 finish — according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Colts, Browns and Raiders also tried to claim Brown.
A hot commodity, Brown will join the Bengals after the Super Bowl. Rest assured this won’t be the last time the Bengals exercise their advantageous position in the waiver order.
